When I was younger, my friends and I were addicted to teddies, more in particular those in the TY Beanie range! TY make a lot of soft toys, in all forms, including animals bears, and Beanie Boppers which are like little people. My friends and I loved the TY beanies, and between us probably had all of them!
There are lots of different animals in the TY range, and a lot of them were cats, much to my delight. One of the little cats is known as Frightful. She is not just a normal little kitty though, but represents Halloween. I love witches especially, so this beanie is perfect for me. Frightful is jet black, with bright orange paws. On her head there is an adorable witches hat with cobwebs, complete with little hanging spider. She definitely has a frightening look to her, but she is utterly gorgeous!
To the touch, Frightful has quite long ...
Advantages: Entertaining, easy to watch Disadvantages: Hard to take the plot too seriously
abroad, I am a bit of a sucker for anything that involves English village life and as this film is set in an English village, it was the obvious choice for my introduction to the world of Lucio Fulci. And, of course, a fellow reviewer had already recommended it - thanks, Spencer.
Prior to the film starting, there were a number of trailers for other films of a similar genre and presumably distributed by the same company that distributes this one (Shameless). I have to admit, I started getting worried. I enjoy watching horror films, but some of the clips I was watching were a bit out of my comfort zone, involving what I will term as sexual horror, for want of a better word (for example, stabbing in the genital area). If this was a taster of things to come, would I even be able to watch the film? I needn't have worried. BlackCat is not ...

This is the time of year when all of the tacky presents appear in the shops that the recipient will feign great appreciation for on Xmas morning and send to the charity shop in the new year. As well as tacky toys and gadgets the bookshelves are filled with all the latest z list celebrity biographies and other rubbish books that no sane person would surely buy for themselves. One of those books is called Test Your Cat; The Cat IQ Test which was gifted to me by a friend presumably after she had taken the 10 minutes to test her cat and thought giving it to me was a way of making room on her bookshelf for something better.
The Cat IQ test is a small hardback book with an attractive picture of a cat on the front. The book is only 120 pages long, most of those pages contain a single question with room to record your response by ticking ...
